    $\begingroup$ Your only problem? The Nile river doesn't exist on a 'desert world'. Yes, it travels THROUGH a dry/arid region but the actual source of the Niles (White and Blue) are the vast tropical rain forests, great lakes and well watered highlands of tropical Africa. In this scenario? There are no vast tropical rain forests or highlands. Neither are there the monsoonal weather patterns that sustain them or the oceans from which those monsoonal weather have to originate. Where does the water come from? $\endgroup$
